Plant biostimulants - Determination of specific elements - Part 1: Digestion by aqua regia for subsequent determination of elements
This document specifies the procedure for the digestion of different plant biostimulants with aqua regia to enable a subsequent determination of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The procedure can be also applied for determination of other elements. The procedure is applicable for all solid and/or liquid plant biostimulants.
This document is also applicable to the blends of fertilizing products where plant biostimulants are the main part of the blend. Otherwise, the Technical Specification for the main part of the blend applies.
The extracts are suitable for analysis using CEN/TS 17701-2 (ICP-AES) and CEN/TS 17701-3 (Hg analysis).
NOTE Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be used for the measurement if the user proves that the method gives the same results.
Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien - Bestimmung spezifischer Elemente - Teil 1: Aufschluss durch Königswasser zur anschließenden Bestimmung der Elemente
Dieses Dokument legt die Verfahrensweise für den Aufschluss verschiedener Biostimulanzien für die pflanzliche Anwendung mit Königswasser fest, um eine anschließende Bestimmung von Arsen (As), Cadmium (Cd), Kupfer (Cu), Chrom (Cr), Quecksilber (Hg), Nickel (Ni), Blei (Pb) und Zink (Zn) zu ermöglichen. Die Verfahrensweise kann auch für die Bestimmung anderer Elemente verwendet werden. Die Verfahrensweise gilt für alle festen und/oder flüssigen Biostimulanzien für die pflanzliche Anwendung.
Dieses Dokument gilt auch für die Mischungen von Düngeprodukten, in denen die Biostimulanzien für die pflanzliche Anwendung der Hauptbestandteil der Mischung sind. Andernfalls gilt die Technische Spezifikation für den Hauptbestandteil der Mischung.
Die Extrakte sind für die Analyse nach CEN/TS 17701-2 (ICP AES) und CEN/TS 17701-3 (Quecksilber-Analyse) geeignet.
ANMERKUNG Alternativ kann die Massenspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICP MS) für die Messung genutzt werden, sofern der Anwender nachweist, dass das Verfahren zu den gleichen Ergebnissen führt.
Biostimulants des végétaux - Dosage des éléments spécifiques - Partie 1 : Digestion à l'eau régale pour le dosage ultérieur des éléments
Le présent document spécifie la méthode pour la digestion de différents biostimulants des végétaux à l’eau régale pour permettre le dosage ultérieur de l’arsenic (As), du cadmium (Cd), du cuivre (Cu), du chrome (Cr), du mercure (Hg), du nickel (Ni), du plomb (Pb) et du zinc (Zn). Cette méthode peut aussi être appliquée pour le dosage d’autres éléments. Cette méthode est applicable à tous les biostimulants des végétaux solides et/ou liquides.
Le présent document est également applicable aux mélanges de fertilisants dont la majeure partie est constituée de biostimulants des végétaux. Dans le cas contraire, la Spécification technique relative au constituant principal du mélange s’applique.
Les extraits conviennent pour une analyse selon la CEN/TS 17701-2 (ICP-AES) et la CEN/TS 17701-3 (analyse du Hg).
NOTE Il est également possible d’utiliser la spectrométrie de masse avec plasma à couplage inductif (ICP-MS) pour la mesure, si l’utilisateur prouve que la méthode conduit aux mêmes résultats.

Introduction
This document was prepared by the experts of CEN/TC 455 “Plant Biostimulants”. The European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) was requested by the European Commission (EC) to draft
European standards or European standardization deliverables to support the implementation of
Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 laying down
rules on the making available on the market of EU fertilising products (“FPR” or “Fertilising Products
Regulation”).
This standardization request, presented as M/564, also contributes to the Communication on “Innovating
for Sustainable Growth: A Bio economy for Europe”. Working Group 4 “Other safety parameters” was
created to develop a work program as part of this standardization request. Technical Committee CEN/TC
455 “Plant Biostimulants” was established to carry out the work program that will prepare a series of
standards. The interest in biostimulants has increased significantly in Europe as a valuable tool to use in
agriculture. Standardization was identified as having an important role in order to promote the use of
biostimulants. The work of CEN/TC 455 seeks to improve the reliability of the supply chain, thereby
improving the confidence of farmers, industry, and consumers in biostimulants, and will promote and
support commercialisation of the European biostimulant industry.
The preparation of this document is based on a standardization request to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/564) concerning the modernization
of methods of analysis of fertilizers in the framework of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European
Parliament and of the Council.
Aqua regia is applied to digest different matrices for the subsequent determination of many elements.
For example, a multi-matrix standard for aqua regia extraction of soils, sludges and biowaste was
prepared by CEN/TC 444. A similar procedure was applied for determination of aqua regia extractable
contents of arsenic, mercury, cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead in fertilizers and liming materials
(standard prepared by CEN/TC 260). CEN/TC 260 also prepared a standard for extraction of a total
micronutrients content in fertilizers using aqua regia. CEN/TC 223 published a standard for a similar
procedure for soil improvers and growing media. Wide use of the aqua regia digestion, availability of the
instruments and the possibility to merge the standards for different matrices in future, were the main
reasons for also applying this method of digestion for plant biostimulants. A simple pre-concentration
procedure is a part of this document to also cover the digestion of liquid samples with low dry matter
content in the case that the measurement method is not sufficiently sensitive. An Annex A describes in
detail the calculation of the initial sample weight to be taken for the pre-concentration step to achieve
concentrations of the individual elements above the limit of quantification (LOQ).
WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with usual laboratory practice. This
document does not purport to address all of the safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user to establish appropriate health and safety practices and to ensure compliance
with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this document are carried out
by suitably trained staff.
